History
- September 4, 2001 - Richmond Hill Transit originally operated route 7, which was the original Major Mackenzie route in Richmond Hill, and YRT inherited the service during the merging in January 2001. On this date, the route was renumbered from 7 to 87 to avoid route number duplication across the York Region Transit network. This route initially operated during rush hours only, as there was limited development on Major Mackenzie Drive east of Yonge Street. Vaughan Transit also operated route 4 between Jane Street and the Bayview Bus Loop inside Wal-Mart.
- May 12, 2002 - Route is eliminated and replaced with expanded service on route 4/4A. Full service ran between Jane Street and Woodbine Avenue, while the 4A branch was implemented to provide extra service between Don Head Village and Bayview Avenue, providing a similar frequency to the old arrangement. The route number 87 was reused in September 2002 for the revised 82A Langstaff Local route.
